Next Steps

​​

Once you determine that you meet the eligibility and invitation criteria for the New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream, the next stage is to follow the official process outlined by Immigration New Brunswick.

​

Step1: Submit your Expression of Interest (EOI)

 

Your first step is to create and submit an online Expression of Interest through the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) portal. Provide accurate information about your work experience, education, language abilities, and employment details.

​

Step 2: Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

​

If your EOI aligns with provincial priorities, you may receive an Invitation to Apply. An ITA is not guaranteed, even if you meet all eligibility criteria.

​

Step 3: Submit a nomination application if invited

​

Once you receive an ITA, you must submit a complete online application to Immigration New Brunswick within the deadline stated in your invitation.

​

Your application will include:

• Identity documents

• Education credentials

• Language test results

• Employment offer or work experience documents

• Proof of residency (where required)

• Additional supporting documents based on your pathway

​

Step 4: Application Review by Immigration New Brunswick

​

The provincial immigration office will review your application to verify your eligibility and supporting documents. They may request additional information or clarification if needed. 

​

Step 5: Receive your Provincial Nomination (If nominated)

​

If your application is approved, New Brunswick will issue a Nomination Certificate through your INB portal account. This certificate is time-sensitive, and you must submit your permanent residence application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before the nomination expires.

 

Step 6: Apply for Federal Permanent Residence Application

With a provincial nomination, you can submit your permanent residence application to IRCC. While your PR application is being processed by IRCC, you are required to maintain all conditions of your nomination.

​

Once IRCC approves your application, you will be issued a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). This document allows you to finalize your landing and begin establishing yourself as a permanent resident in New Brunswick. Within 30 days of receiving the signed COPR, you must log in to your INB portal and complete the mandatory PR landing update.
